The meaning of the Names of Allah
1. From Ibn Abi Ya'fur who said,
I asked Imam Sadiq (as) about the verse [Quran, 57:3] ‘He is the First and the Last’, and I said, ‘As for ‘the First’, so we recognise it, and as for ‘the Last’, so clarify its interpretation for us’.
So he (as) said: ‘There is...
I think that there is a misunderstanding about the verses.
The true translations of the verses are as the following:
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they [i.e., Polytheists] describe.
I can not understand that how can this verse support your saying?
Quran, 16:74, 75, The...
Essential Attributes of God
1. From Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
I heard Imam Baqir (as) saying, ‘God, to Whom belong Might and Majesty, existed when nothing else existed. He eternally knows whatever comes into being. His knowledge of things before their coming into existence and afterwards is...
We as Shi'a Muslims don't believe that Allah is after 7 skies and Sidratul Muntaha. He is indeed everywhere and with everyone.
Also we don't believe that Allah is completely unknowable. We believe that Allah can be known by His sayings in Quran and His creation. All the creations are the signs...
The True Tawheed is only in the Qur'an
1. From Abd Ar-Raheem Bin Ateyk Al-Qasir who said,
I wrote a letter to Imam Sadiq (as), that a group of people in Iraq are describing God with the image and with the lines. So, what is your view, may God make me to be sacrificed for you, write it to me...
Talking about the Essence of God
1.From Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
Imam Sadiq (as) said, ‘O Muhammad! People do not slip up until they talk about the Essence of God . So when you hear that people are talking about the Essence of God, say, ‘There is no god except the One Who, there is nothing...
Imam (as) said:
"Everything but Allah Who is the Creator of everything, is a creation. Eternal and blessed is the One Who there is nothing like Him and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing."
In Arabic philology, the word Shai', i.e., thing, means the phenomenon of the nature and Mashi'ah...
Thank you brother. But as I mentioned, I have appointed this thread for those Hadiths which are mentioned by Mohammad Bagher Behboodi in Sahih Al-Kafi. It would be appreciated if the other Hadiths of Al-Kafi not be posted here. I also use the translation and commentary of Muhammad Baqir Behboodi...
I want to post the Hadiths that are in the chapter of Tawhid of the book Al-Kafi by Al-Kolayni (ra) in this thread, Inshallah. I send only those Hadiths which are in Sahih Al-Kafi by Muhammad Baqer Behboodi (ra). I will ignore the full chaine of the narrators.
God, creations, things

Dear BSM1,
I'am an Iranian. It isn't true that we see war, especially nuclear war, as a requirement for Al Mahdi's hastened return!
We believe that good deeds and thoughts can hasten the return of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him).
I think that there is a misunderstanding. Indeed, we believe that...
I hope this could help you:
Q1121. What are the criteria by which one can distinguish ḥalāl (i.e., permissible) from ḥarām (i.e., forbidden) music? Is classical music ḥalāl?
A: Any music which is lahwī and deviating people from the way of Allah which is suitable for gatherings of merry...
Dear brother, thank you for your recommendations. But know that I am not Sufi and do not believe in Ibn Arabi.
Brother, you should know that Imam Khomeini (ra) never meant that Gabriel (as) didn't reveal Quran to Prophet (s). I wanted to elaborate the meaning of the saying of Imam Khomeini...
Salamun Alaykum wa Rahmatollah.
1.Dear brother, in Iran we are learnd to love our Sunni brothers and sisters. The government of Iran supports the unity between Shias and Sunnis. Our leader, Ayatollah Khamenei (ra) does this, too. Note that this unity does not mean that Shias or Sunnis have to...
Hi brothers.
Thank you for sharing your beliefs.
Dear bayani brothers, espacially Vahid Azal, what you talk about Asma'ollah, Maqam Al-Ahadiyyah and Al-Wahediyyah, etc. are nothing but the beliefs of Ibn Arabi. They are not the saying of infallibles (as).
Also, those Dua and Hadiths are not...
Salam dear brother.
Brother, I thnik that there is a misunderstanding here. I did not say that Al is a pronoun. I said that according to Arabic Nahv, 'Al' can be used as an alternative for objective pronouns. Yes, Al is a definite article, but you should know that there is not any...
Salam bro.
At-Tabari who is among the most eminent Sunni Mofassireen, wrote in his Tafsir book:
القول في تأويل قوله : وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُ فِي الأَلْوَاحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلا لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ

Salamun Alaykum brother.
Thank you for sharing the link.
I do not know how much you know about Arabic, but one of the points which has not been mentioned in the provided link is this that in the verse 8:41, the "ال" (Al) in Al-Qurba, Al-Yatama, Al-Masaakeen and Al-Sabil is the alternative for...
